Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall - Berwyn mountains

A visit to the enchanting Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall in the heart of the Berwyn mountains, North east Wales. I joined with a avid hiker friend to produce this short film showcasing the beautiful views from our 4.5 mile hike.

Pistyll Rhaeadr is often referred to as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. The waterfall is formed by the Afon Disgynfa falling in three stages over a 240-foot cliff-face, into the Afon Rhaeadr below. The tallest stage is estimated at about 40 metres.

The 19th-century author George Borrow, in his book Wild Wales, remarked of the waterfall: “What shall I liken it to? I scarcely know, unless it is to an immense skein of silk agitated and disturbed by tempestuous blasts, or to the long tail of a grey courser at furious speed. I never saw water falling so gracefully, so much like thin, beautiful threads as here.”

Nice, especially to get it quiet. Time of year probably helps. Hope to get there one day.

Thanks, definitely well worth a visit. Heard it gets busy there so arrived at 8am! I would also recommend taking the hike up to the top of the falls for extra filming opportunities.
